29 Best Squid Game Gifts for Fans of the Netflix Hit
Squid Game gifts for fans: dalgona candy kits, a Red Light Green Light doll, Funko Pops, Player 456 sweatshirts, marbles game and soundtrack vinyl. 29 picks.
Squid Game turned a handful of Korean playground games into something the whole world recognizes: the pink guards, the green tracksuits, the dalgona tin and that doll turning her head. Fans who have finished all three seasons usually want one of two things, either a piece of the show to keep on a shelf or a way to play the games themselves, minus the elimination.
This list covers both. We picked 29 Squid Game gifts, from a real dalgona candy kit and weighted gonggi stones to a motion-sensing Young-hee doll, licensed Funko Pops, the Player 456 sweatshirt and Jung Jae-il's score on vinyl. Most of it is officially licensed Netflix merchandise, the playground games are the traditional Korean versions, and every pick is on Amazon with a current price.

Buyer's Guide
How to pick the best squid game gifts
Remember it is a mature show. Squid Game is rated TV-MA, so most of this list is aimed at adults and older teens who have actually watched it. For a younger sibling who only knows the memes, stick with the playground games, the plush or the socks rather than the Front Man costume.
Players or watchers? Some fans want to host a Squid Game night. For them, the dalgona kit, ddakji tiles, gonggi stones, the marbles party game and the Book of Games make a full (and harmless) tournament. Fans who prefer to watch will get more out of a Funko Pop, the chill kit or the soundtrack.
Check that it is licensed. Look for Netflix, Funko, Paladone, Loungefly, Bialetti or Spin Master on the box. Unofficial tracksuits and masks are everywhere, and they tend to be thinner and less accurate than the real thing.
Watch sizes and models. The phone case fits the iPhone 14 only, the socks are women's sizes and the costume runs in adult sizes. Double-check these before you order, especially close to Halloween or Christmas.
